December 18th. BR 2011. The planets of the Saban System lie in opposition, and plots make themselves known, as this is an occurrence that only happens once in a thousand years...

FELC Worldfiles Database wrote:The Saban System is a major resource for the Core Crystal movement. Core Crystals, the green, shining blades used by infantry throughout the Brikverse provide an effortless method for advanced infantry weaponry. It is rumored that the original Nova Blade was crafted from a Core Crystal.

The power of a Core Crystal is directly relative to the time it is harvested- on Saban, the furthest planet from it's system's sun, it depends on the gravitic patterns of the system's four planets. Dec. 18th will be the day of maximum power. We expect raids from no less than thirty factions on Saban Hold, currently a neutral trade center. Advise withdraw from Saban airspace to minimize troop losses.

FELC Command Order Line wrote:At the Fleet Admiral's discretion, Operation code name Forever Day will take place on Saban to attempt to harvest what limited materials we can from the Hold. It will be a high-risk hit and run mission. Casualties are expected, SHEATH-Class Stealth Fighters to be on hand to record actions over Saban. Stand by for further orders.

Saban is a hostile planet, with a resource valuable in the day-to-day warfare of the Immortal War. On the 18th, FELC Command will attempt to capture footage of the war hitting Saban, the day of maximum resources.

Rules for this short-notice challenge:-This isn't exactly a battle, more an opportunity to mess with the factions you have on hand.-There won't be a winner of this battle. Just your individual reports.-Saban has many Holds scattered across it's surface. Prominent features are wide-open plains outside of the Holds, the low-quality neon green Core Crystals left lying about from mining operations, and the small mining Holds themselves.-Command doesn't have many ships on hand to record footage. 5 pictures for each action report will suffice.-Tell a story of the minor engagement you recorded in your post.-Submit the pictures and story below.

Defenses are mainly limited to whatever ships factions have in orbit over Saban- the Consortium in charge of the surface operations stays out of the War, supplying whoever has cash with the Crystals.

Small Consortium patrol craft and security teams keep the peace in the main trading areas, but since the leak about the relative power of a Crystal's harvest was fairly recent, they've withdrawn from the area, only leaving teams behind in the official buildings that probably won't come under the scope of a hit-and-run operation in order to preserve the important documents and stuff. The Holds are subsequently undefended- they don't want to draw the wrath of any factions by attempting to defend an compromised position. Neutrality is exceedingly difficult to hold onto in the Immortal War.

*DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA* Ambush your way out of this you sneaky peach bastards.

They had small arms, mostly pistols and swords. They were trained conscripts that lived on the Silvarian settlements. Taught to resist any other empire, for not everyone believes in co-existence.

The Cultists fought back,

But most of the work was done by me.

Wise men stand when fools fear to tread.

And fools rush in where I tread.

A crowbar? He should've picked something better off the ground.

===============After much killing===============

Cloth is a terrible deterrent to flechettes.

However, Mimetic armour is a good deterrent for bullets.

Fools rush in firing a pistol when someone is waiting to clothesline them with a punt gun.

I did run out of ammunition, but there were still a few that still stood against me.

In a life saving decision, the last of my enemies hid or fled.

Although most of the cultists were killed, around three times as many conscripts died.

Action Team Delta were inserted into Point 503 at O-200 ORBU on 12:18, yesterday, led by Crew Captain Ferret. Contact was made with enemy units of unidentified status at 30OR time, leading to the loss of the dropship and ground comms at 42OR. The team was recovered at 73OR, O-373 ORBU, with the loss of Private Daniels, Private Morrow, and Med-Ops Chief Sill. The team reported contact with Guard units, apparently making headway towards the main Consortium Hold. Observed detonation of the main Hold occurred approximately two hours later. The recovered Core Crystal sample is undergoing examination. Operation Forever Day is a minimal success.
